Intention is very important in your travels within dimensions. Whatever your intent, it becomes manifest. When Jane Roberts first began channeling Seth, it became apparent what he was trying to suggest: Thoughts have a very powerful effect on our reality.

"Your world is formed in faithful replica of your own thoughts...If you think positive suggestions to yourself about a situation you send telepathic ammunition for positive use. You must learn to erase a negative thought or picture by replacing it with its opposite. " - Seth.

This is particularly true in the astral dimensions. The more control you get the more the stray thoughts you have instantly materialize. You think this only happens in dreams? No. Your thoughts determine your day to day life as well. Thought control is kin to awareness. That is why it is important to keep a positive attitude despite our outside circumstances. We created those circumstances and if we keep feeding them that negativity, guess what? They'll hang around longer.

However, as our awareness widens, so do our understanding of the concepts of how to create our reality. We are aware now that thought plays and integral role in our creation model, but is it the determining factor? The Elias teachings suggest there is more to the model that Seth explored.

To expand your level of thought control, there are various exercises you can try. I like to use memory as my link to self-awareness and thought control. For instance, when you are lucid dreaming, do you remember your full name? Ask yourself many questions about who you are in real life. If you focus your thoughts correctly, you will get the "correct" answers. If you don't, you may find yourself unable to remember or providing yourself with "inaccurate" information. This can be verified when you wake up, obviously. Next, who is your family? What are their names? Next, what were you dreaming before you became lucid? Did you have any other dreams that related to this dream? Did you dream other dreams on different days that related to this dream? How far back can you remember sequentially? Can you remember a past life? Can you remember a past family? Can you remember a past name? Can you remember a past location? What do all these "past" things mean to you? Can you remember the future? What's interesting about these exercises is that you don't need to be able to create anything in the dream to do them. They are merely aides in self-awareness and thought control. They also tend to challenge our idea of time and space as being a reality.
